America's Next Top Model
A few months ago I was flown out to Los Angeles to film an episode of America's Next Top Model, Cycle 11!
I arrived in LA after the long flight from Sydney feeling tired, but decided I just had to do some shopping while I was there, so I headed out to Century City for a few hours and spent way too much money!
The next day I headed to the studio and watched Tyra and the judges filming the first elimination. Tyra is even more beautiful in person if that is even possible! I also met Benny Ninja who I would be working with the following day during the shoot. Benny is the shows resident posing instructor and is very lovely and really funny.
I spent the afternoon at my hotel relaxing by the pool which was really nice as it was summer in LA but winter back home so it was nice to get some sun.
On the day of the shoot my driver Ray picked me up from my hotel and we made our way to the set which was an old, dirty warehouse. It was such a hot day and the warehouse didn't have many windows so it was stinking hot!
When the models arrived they walked into the room and saw Benny sitting on a box. When he turned the box around it revealed me inside with my leg over my head!
We were there to teach girls about extreme posing. I demonstrated to them different extreme poses on the box and then one at a time the girls came up to the box and showed us their extreme poses. Then the models stepped inside long red fabric tubes hanging from the ceiling and struck a series of extreme poses while Benny and I instructed them on how to improve their pose.
For me, Sheena did the best on the day and I thought she was very sweet, as were all the girls. In fact, all the crew on set were really friendly, it was great. I had a great time.
I left straight from the shoot to the airport and flew back home. It was a very quick trip but was so much fun!
